Details

Why is this drug prescribed?

Generic Micardis controls high blood pressure. It works by blocking the effects of a hormone called angiotensin II. Unopposed, this substance tends to constrict the blood vessels while promoting retention of salt and water--actions that tend to raise blood pressure. Generic Micardis prevents these effects and thus keeps blood pressure lower. It can be prescribed alone or with other high blood pressure medications, such as diuretics that help rid the body of excess water.

Most important fact about this drug

Generic Micardis should reduce your blood pressure within a couple of weeks, although it may take a month to achieve its maximum effect. You need to continue taking this drug regularly, even if you feel well. Generic Micardis does not cure high blood pressure, it merely keeps it under control.

How should you take this medication?

You can take Generic Micardis with or without food. To avoid forgetting a dose, make a habit of taking it at the same time each day.

If you miss a dose...

Take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the one you missed and go back to your regular schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once.
